I have multiple domains set up on this server, and not all need to use Kolab. I'd like to experiment with it on a couple of domains without using a dedicated server.
I've been following the Gentoo endorsed installation docs, and I've emerged kolabd, but I haven't allowed it to take over my configs yet.
The reason is that I also followed the [url src="
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml"]Official Gentoo Postfix docs[/url], and the [url src="
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mailfilter-guide.xml"]Official Gentoo Mailfiltering docs[/url], and that's the paradigm I'm most familiar with for postfix administration.
Kolab's configs want to hose that, which in and of itself is not a problem, as long as I can rebuild them (which is another matter), without breaking kolab again. For instance:
-I notice Kolab wants to use flat files for alias and transport maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf, rather than the mysql tables im currently using. Can I change that?
-Also, I see that Kolab doesnt use courrier-imap... does that mean I can't be using courrier-imap anymore?
-etc
Basically, I can't even wrap my mind around the full implications of a migration right now, as I'm not an expert when it comes to postfix administration, either.
I've read the warning, and I'm looking through the hundreds of template files.
Perhaps kolab, which I have yet to start using does things a better way, and eventually I will drink the kool-aid too, but for now I'd rather not put all my eggs in one basket. I want to have my cake and eat it too, and try out kolab without relinquishing all control, or renting another server. Is that possible?
Is there some sane path to doing this, or should I abandon all hope.
Postfix is the most important thing. If I could get that working with Kolab while keeping the existing ability to add domains and users via rows in tables of my database, that would be a good start.
